A Rare Association of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome with Autism: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by retinitis pigmentosa, postaxial polydactyly, obesity, mental retardation, hypogonadism and renal anomalies. Autism is rarely described in literature with BBS. Although mental retardation is generally associated with Bardet-Biedl (BBS) syndrome, autism is an unusual comorbidity.
